I been in VA for about 2 1/2 years, before I moved here I had to sell my 1972 Cutlass Supreme. I recently found a 1970 convertible last month and could not pass up on the deal.

Don't use 'Post Quick Reply' but use 'Post Reply' instead. Once there scroll down to where you see 'Manage Attachments'. You can load 5 pics at a time as long as they are small, not dimension wise but kilobyte size. Email size works.

Okay thanks, I had actually created a album before I saw your reply. It needs some body work, bu the people who I bought it from just bought the top about 2 years ago. From what I was told the car has the original 350 with 134,000+ miles on it. Original Transmission and interior which needs to be replaced. All the trimming is there but is pretty worn. Bumpers need to be rechromed b/c they were painted a dull grey

Then you should DEFINITELY put this local show on your calendar. It's run by the Capitol City Rockets, the local DC Metro area OCA chapter.

suggestions??

I have some rust holes in my fender as you can tell by the pics and I was wondering should I buy new fenders or go with the fender patches? I want to do a resto but it is more expensive than I can afford now. And I really like driving my car so for me to let it sit for 5+ yrs w/o driving it would drive me bananas. Right now I just want to repair the body so I can paint it an when my kids are a bit older and I make a little more money I will try to take on the complete restoration. Just got it so I want to enjoy it a little.
